Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said at the UN General Assembly on Saturday that Russia's proposed Persian Gulf collective security framework will help stabilize the situation in the region during the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Lavrov said, “This is what motivates us to put forward the idea of collective security in the Persian Gulf.” He added that Moscow is ready to help stabilize the situation in the region. He quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying, “The dictatorship of a hegemonic country is getting out of control,” which clearly alludes to the US. For many years, Russia has been advocating the establishment of a broader Persian Gulf security architecture with the participation of regional countries, including Iran and Arab countries, rather than around a single extraterritorial power. Lavrov proposed this plan with the aim of using it as a framework for easing tension and resolving regional security disputes. He also linked broader Middle East stability to the Palestinian issue, saying that now is the time to resolve what he called the core problems of the region by ensuring the establishment of a Palestinian nation.
